Identification of admixtures in Melia dubia germplasm as revealed by Bayesian analysis 

 - P 785-788 
<br/><br/> Melia dubia, an important agroforestry tree species,<br/>although it has its diversity hotspot in north-eastern<br/>states of India, it has been found to be dispersed in<br/>various other states as well. Therefore, to detect gene<br/>flow between populations, 185 genotypes from different geographical origins were sampled to identify and<br/>study the occurrence of admixtures using 60 Simple<br/>Sequence Repeats (SSRs) generating definite and reproducible bands. Bayesian structure analysis grouped<br/>genotypes into 6 (best ∆K = 6) genetic groups. Through<br/>membership likelihoods (Q >/< 0.60), admixture analysis revealed 175 genotypes to be highly pure, whereas<br/>the remaining 10 were mixed indicating genetic mixing. The present study highlights the efficiency of SSRs<br/>for the molecular portrayal of M. dubia and assessing<br/>its genetic diversity for genetic improvement through<br/>effective breeding schemes.
